Hey MWod Hipsters,
Today we are going to go after the external rotators of the shoulder. Grab 2 min on soft tissue and 2 min on the band distraction.
Then, grab 2 min working on your hip internal rotation.

Kelly – Just an FYI: the benefits of the Bayna are not associated with the Liver but rather the Kidneys. Love the Blog.
KStar et. al,
What is the ideal sitting position? Full squat? Legs crossed on the ground? Legs straight out in front on the ground? Etc.
For the next few weeks I'll be spending a lot of time at home studying, and don't want to spend it sitting on the couch or trapped at a desk.
Would love to hear your (or anyone else's) thoughts.
Thanks
KStar,
Just found your blog and love it. No CF affiliates in my town and I've not seen those long blue bands you use before. I love the way you use them to distract or approximate joints when stretching and would like to get my hands on some. Any idea where might one purchase them?
Thanks
Yep, I realised the first time I tried a band-around-the-knees stretch in shorts that jump stretch bands are a depilatory mechanism second to none.
Thank-you those two look great, looking forward to having a play with them.
bands are avail at Rogue Fitness.

Bands– blue or any medium one will work. Green are used on some.
August 24 New Concept and Homework is the day Kelly talks about them.
CRob– full squat works, if you have your legs straight out on the ground don't cross them, keep the lumbar curve in your back without leaning back on a hand.
CRob,
Kelly recommended a standing desk when I visited him. Having rigged one up I'd also suggest a bar stool to perch on when your feet get tired or you may struggle to maintain your concentration in an extended session.
Wow, I actually played around with (figured out?) that last stretch a few weeks ago. I think I came up with a different one for the high hip/TFL region that might be of interest to really, really tight people.

I've had a very tight upper hamstring for the last 6 months, It's not going away. The odd thing is it seems to get worse when I stretch it out which is a hard thing to do in the first place. Any ideas? I've tried yoga, I've tried a band on the hip crease and then putting my foot up on a box, I've tried all sorts of hamstring stretches, nothing has worked. I also seem to have a pain in my lower back which some people have described as a Sciatic (SP?) nerve problem? Thanks
Jon
Jon,
Have you tried the lacross ball and the barbell self myfacial release to the area while kicking out the leg? I had a similar problem or shuld I say have been dealing with something similar I think for over a year and a half. The lacross ball (single and double) help tremendously.
No, but I'll try it, thanks
Jon
